Saved the Empress' Life,

Many American physicians are among
the ablest, but their profession rests on a
false hypothesis. IL has nothing to do
with science, and cannot have until it
has vastly advanced. Marked improve
ment has been made in therapeutics, Our
physicians compare very favorably with
those Of Europe. After the Empress
Eugene had given birth to the prince
imperial an important operation was
necessary and all the celebrated doctors
Of Paris and several American doctors
resident there were called in, among them
DIR. johnson, now dead. During her
treatment it was found to their conster-
nation that the blood had left her brain.
She was in momentary peril of losing her
life. A solemn consultation took place.
Nobody could advise except johnson, who
declared he could remedy the evil. He
held her up by the heels and the blood
flowed back to her brain. He saved her
life. Not one of the Partisan sages would
have dreamed of Offering so monstrous an
indignity to the empress of the French,
but the indignity, as they afterward ac-
knowledged, was preferable to her death.

omcial Pensioners.

Public attention in this country is gradually
turning to the injustice of the retired list in
the army and navy, and in the Judiciary.
Searching inquiry into this subject is awaking
the public mind to the fact that this system
has built up favored and privileged class at
the expense of that equality which has ever
been the boast of the American people, but
which has never been practically realized.
What good reason exists for containing these
men in the pay Of the government after their
services are no longer available. They entered
the army, the navy, or the Judiciary, volun-
tarily, and were paid well for their services
while so employed, and in strict justice are
not entitled to be quartered upon the public
when their services are no longer rendered.
1t is system of Partially and favoritism prac-
ticed by the government, for which there is
no good reason, a system, as above stated, at
war with equal rights and equal laws.

Maryland Finances.

Hon. j. Frank Turner, Comptroller of the
State Treasury, made speech before the
Democratic convention of Talbot, on Tuesday
last, from which we CLEAN the following, in
reference to the finances of this State:
The sinking funds have been maintained said
Mr.. Turner, and the State debt is being re.
duced at the rate of 500, 900 year, and in
less than five years from thistime, should this
rate of reduction be maintained, there will be
no tax for State debt purposes levied upon
the property of Maryland. Pursuant to the
authority conferred upon us by law, we have
exchanged one million and four hundred
thousand dollars of the six per cent. interest
bearing debt of the State, and issued instead
bonds bearing only three per cent. interest.
There are some four hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars more to be exchanged, and when
this is eonsummated, which will be done in
few days, there viii be n saving in interest
upon this portion of the State debt of the
handsome sum of fifty-five thousand dollars
year. But this is not all. During my official
term the treasury officers have exercised the
right which the law creating the debt con-
ferred upon the State, and have called in
$500, 900 of the debt, thereby saving to the
State treasury the interest upon this large
sum, amounting to thirty-five thousand dol
lars year. By pursuing this course, instead
of going into the market and baying securities
at high premium, we have. saved to the
State treasury over fifty thousand dollars, and
by the last call of the State bonds, which was
consummated or, The FIRST of the present
month, we hays,assured to the people a re-
duction at tbanext meeting of the Legislature
in State taxes CT one and one half cents.
If 9R1s permitted to go on and carry out
the gQllcy which the treasury officers have
faithfully pursued with so much advantage to
tie State, before the end ofanother two years
you will see the treasury relief loan of half
a million of dollars, upon which we are now
paying six per cent. interest, discharged, and
the sterling debt of the State, amounting to a
fraction over four millions of dollars, upon
which we are now paying about five and
half per cent interest, refunded at three per
cent, and thus saving to the treasury in these
two transactions the large sum of one hum
dred and thirty thousand dollars year.

WHY all this talk about dark horse for
Governor? What is a dark horse? 1t is
man sprung upon nominating conventions
whose name and qualifications for the posi-
ton had not previously been considered a
stampede is effected, and the delegates, under
the lead of some adroit manager, rush pell
NELL TO the support of the dark horse. This
is not only au unsatisfactory way of making
nomination, butitis dangerous way. There
is danger of getting an unfit or an unpopular
man. 1t has some times succeeded, notably
in the case of James X. Polk, for President
in 1874; but as general rule in nomina'
tons, it is not to be commended, but avoided,
as leading to the encouragement of trickery
in defeating the popular-choice.

Ellen J. Massamore, plaintiff, VS.. Henry l..
Massamore, defendant.

Ellen j. Massamore, plaintiff, VS.. Henry l..
Massamore, defendant.
The object of this bill is to procure di
yorce a vinculo matrimonii Of the plaintiff
from the defendant.
The bill alleges that the complainant and
defendant were married on the twenty second
day of October, in the year eighteen hundred
and seventy three, at Uniontown, Carroll
county, Maryland; that said marriage cere-
mony was performed by Elder W. Palmer IA
regularly ordained minister of the Church OF
Cod;
That the plaintiff has resided at the city of
Westminster, in Carroll county aforesaid,
nearly all her life, and continuously for the
past fifteen years;
That by said marriage she has one son, aged
thirteen years;
That the defendant has not, since his mar
rage as aforesaid, contributed to the support
of the plaintiff or their said son, but has left
the burden of making livelihood for herself
and their said son solely to the plaintiff
That about eight years ago the defendant
deserted the plaintiff and went beyond the
limits of the state of Maryland, and during
said period he has not returned to the plain
tiff, nor has he contributed one cent toward
the support of the plaintiff or that OF their SON.
That the defendant was addicted to the ex-
CeSSlNe uSt Vi otlLHultAiboJ anu WANh ~
influence of liquor was cruelty unkind to and
abusive of the plaintiff;
That the defendant without any just cause
or reason, abandoned and deserted the plain
tiff, and that such abandonment has continued
uninterruptedly for about eight years, and is
deliberate and final, and the separation of the
plaintiff and defendant is beyond any reason
able expectation of reconciliation.
1t is thereupon ordered by the Court this
14th day of july in the year eighteen hun
dred and eighty seven, that the plaintiff cause
a copy of this order, together with the object
and substance of the bill, TO be inserted in
some newspaper published in Carroll county,
in the State of Maryland, once week for
four successive weeks, before the 18th day Of
August, A. d. 1887, giving notice to the
defendant in said bill, and warning him to
appear in this Court, in person or by solicitor,
on or before the-l5th day of November, A. d.
1887, to show cause, if any he has, why de-
cree shall not pass as prayed.

Struck at for His Pension Veto.
From the Philadelphia, Pr, Record.

From the Philadelphia, Rd., Record.
Disguise it as they may, the animus of the
demagogues of the Grand Army aud of the
claim agents against President Cleveland
grows out of his veto of the INDECENT Pension
bill. The paltry pretext is made that by his
flag order President Cleveland offended the
patriotic sentiment of the Grand Army; but it
will be borne in mind that the insolent threat
to insult the President if he should visit St.
Louis had been made before the flag incident.
The veto of the INDECENT Pension bill was un-
auestionably in harmony with the best senti-
ment Of the country; hence the people OF the
United States have far greater interest in
this matter than has the President who stood
forward as their chosen representative to
protect the Treasury against monstrous raid.
This assault upon President Cleveland for his
pension veto is revolt against public opinion.
Its i'll. disguised object is to overcome public
sentiment and to force through the next Con-
gress another INDECENT Pension bill of like
character under the fear and pressure of a
new election. Failing in this, the purpose is
to make the bill an issue in the coming con-
test for President Hence what is personal
to President Cleveland in this controversy
dwindles into nsignifcance in comparison
with the public concern.
1t would be great error to hold the vete
rams of the Grand Army organization respon-
sible for the ill-natured and indecent utterances
and acts of demagogues who assume to speak
for the soldiers. The approval given by
many Grand Army Posts Of the pension veto
when it was delivered affords sufficient proof
of the present sentiments of the veterans.
There are in the Grand Army two elements,
whose disagreement threatens serious breach
in the organization. As time passes the ranks
of the veterans are becoming rapidly thinned
by death, and the element composed of con-
scripts and substitutes grows in influence, 1t
is a notorious fact that some Grand Army Posts
are formed almost exclusively of this element,
many of whose members never saw active
service, and who, as General Grant said, only
began to get real mad when the war was
over.
In the presence Of new conspiracy to raid
the Treasury with another INDECENT Pension
bill the cause of the President has necessarily
become that of the whole people.

The European quidnuncs have discovered
another "war- cloud," not bigger than man s
hand, it may be, but a war-cloud nevertheless.
The reading world have got used to these
ever-reourring alarms in which stock gamblers
and spectators often play a principal part,
so that they scarcely produce ripple of ex-

Russia has ordered all soldiers on furlough
in the Odessa district to rejoin their regiments.

Prince Ferdinand to the throne of Bulgaria
